Homework should be done as soon as you get home from school. If you have after-school activities, the homework should be done first. At the same time, it is fine to allow for a snack break and also to allow for stretching(拉伸的)breaks.
Also, you should remember that it is your duty to do your homework. Next time, when you want to depend on Mom and Dad for help, please try to find the answer yourself, because you will learn much, much more that way.
When you have a question, especially something about a science or math, don't always turn to your teacher! It is a good idea to try to find the answer yourself. If this doesn't work, you can also look at the materials in the back of the book. They may guide you to the pages you should look at to help you understand the problem.
Finally, while doing homework, don't think about or do other things. Keep working. Setting a time limit(限制) often helps with this. Different ages decide different amounts of time. 10-15 minutes is good for a child that's aged 6-8. A time of 20-30 minutes is about right for a child aged 9-12. Kids can keep studying for 30-45 minutes from the ages of 13 to 15. This, of course, depends on your abilities to pay attention and stay on tasks.In the first paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that ______.

Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn't look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether his father ate people. "I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was," said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black president in U.S. history.
Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is a black African and his mother is a white American. This unusual background made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Massachusetts. Later, he became the third black senator(议员 ) in U. S. history.
While he was competing for U.S.president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, but not a white America or a black America. Obama's success is a historic victory. It made Martin Luther King's dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged(判断) by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.
